Jeuce are a live electro/dubstep act based in Leeds, built up of four members. They have recently received attention and airplay from Radio one DJ’s Andy George and Jaymo and have been causing somewhat of a stir across the blogosphere. They are now also one part of the freshly launched Get Hype Collective; a collaboration of like-minded Acts, DJ’s, Designers and Promoters.

Their live set is a relentless mix of hard-hitting Dance music, perfectly suited to a club atmosphere. They bring a hybrid sound of bass heavy drops thrown together with a mix of melodic vocals, bouncy synths and twisted guitar lines. Jeuce are of many in a growing list of live acts that belong in a club environment.

The boys have recently signed a number of single releases with London based label, Gash digital. Their forthcoming release “Flavour” is due to hit the stores in April with remixes from Kidda, Bare Noize, Kanji kinetic, Audiofun and more.. Not only are Jeuce constantly writing original material, but they have been making a name for themselves as remix artists, completing a number of official remixes for the likes of Crookers, Ladytron, Esser, Ellie Goulding, Hadouken! and more.
